Some rp bits from this week. CHAOS!

Appraising the sinister display, the mechagnome impatiently jammed a thumb into the remote’s unnecessarily large red button.

“HA! let's DO this!”

Its satisfying click widened her eyes, head whipping eagerly to the robots. The jittering machines erupted into motion. Articulated arms unfolded, each end fitted with a circular blade taunting a sharp glint.

The jagged metal sputtered in sequence—first one, then another, then all at once—until it drowned the appreciative cackles. Heavy footfalls advanced, heralding a truly impressive display: deadly double halos of whirling steel.

The small, wicked laughter now rose as a chorus above the chaos. With a grand flourish, one of their company swiped a wrench from his belt, holding it at the side of his mouth.

“And now—the future of ingenuity versus...” He rocked back on his heels allowing tone to carry the performance.

“...THE CURSE OF FLEEE-EESSSH!”

Dragonflight Season 1 activities - Time Rifts, Dreamsurges, and Barter Boulders

Patch 10.1.5 brought Time Rifts and 10.1.7 brought Dreamsurges to Dragonflight. I meant to talk about them a little so here we are, a season late. Time Rifts Time Rifts gave us some interesting lore tidbits around what if scenarios without really delving into time travel shenanigans. I thought it was fun addition and recommend seeing each of the different time rifts. These are the timelines…

Still irks me that Mekkatorque was made King of the Gnomes.

The only democracy in Warcraft (that I'm aware of off the top of my head) and they go and do that.

(Smoke doesn't show unless clicked hhhhhhh. Transparency issues.)

Due to circumstances involving some VERY angry Wardens and an ongoing satyr hunt, Wicker has decided to lay low by taking on a new form.

Say hi to Teacher Mara, totally unrelated worgen woman who just so happens to talk in the same way as Wicker and has his exact fur color scheme. Don't worry about it!'Say hi to Teacher Mara, totally unrelated worgen woman who just so happens to talk in the same way as Wicker and has his exact fur color scheme. Don't worry about it!

i moved myself from the comfy position to go do some wow fishing.

there is maintenance until 11 😩

[illidan]

person who provided the spare parts but not the energy cell to the charging station i gotta ask. why

[styrmwb]

Doing A Farewell to Arms really makes me realize why I stopped playing WoW in BfA to go to FFXIV, this shit is malicious

Like, obviously it's enough for me to do it cause I can solo shit and clean house but that doesn't hide the nefariousness of 2018

You want rares that only spawn from another rare spawn? You wanna wait 8 hours for a 1% drop chance mount? How about you lock achievements behind world quests that may or may not spawn for weeks, and then also make it so that way they don't phase properly, and people Literally Have To Wait In Line so everyone gets a fair shake. There's Mechagon, which is just exclusively RNG drops on top of RNG drops on top of heavy spare parts grinding. The continued existence of the mission table (rest in piss I am so glad they killed you), so so so so much azerite, locking content on alts behind the same super long questlines You Will Not be able to skip past; it's just. Awful. Doing ANY of this shit would have and did drive me crazy (again I left)

Makes me very grateful for the game now. Alt friendly, non malicious grinding (there's still MMO rares but at least I don't have to fucking kill the packfather for an achievement), and Good Lore

ok i think i got the worst part of the stormcrow mount grind out of the way. killed the zek rare quite a few times before getting the key

now it's just a matter of farming mobs for the other keys/runes and i think gathering items to combine into a key/rune. coolio

[demilypyro]

just finished grinding mechagon rep to exalted and i find out the mount costs over 400k gold wtf. what did i do this for

Some RP bits from this week. I love handling both Elu and Ozzie with this scenario, they play so well together.

Ozzie's attention darted back and forth with the conversation, nudging his eyepatch with a toothy grin.

“Aye, a revolution’s an open invitation for business, lassie. Best stockpile an arsenal—might have more guests showin’ up soon.” He gave a wink with his good eye.

Eluvianna smirked at the exchange. “You two have all the subtlety of a missile yourselves.”

Tilting her head toward the gnome, she continued, voice smooth. “But now that we’ve had the pleasure of a proper introduction, perhaps you’d be so kind as to grant us your blessing for passage.”

“Truly, we have no intention of interfering with your own business. If anything, we likely share a common interest—what you may not yet realize it is you have here.”

The performance drew a stifled laugh from Ozzie, who had seen it play out a thousand times before. It didn’t always fully catch, but more often than not, it dangled a curious lure few could resist acknowledging. That, after all, was half the battle—and half the brilliance of the strategy.

The gnome's eyes narrowed in response, though still unclear if in consideration or hostility.

9. Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

The starting whines of the engine core sounded like a banshee’s wail. To compare it to a regular vehicle was folly. Regular machines did not know how to hate. This one seemed to RUN on it.

That wail grew deeper in pitch within moments, the various exhausts pouring heat and fel flame as piston limbs and internal turbines spun faster and faster. The hellscrawled workings starting to glow that sickly eldritch green color from the increased friction of metal on metal, or perhaps from its increasing malevolence and its own irrepressible desire to destroy.

Its one mechanical claw would have served as a breaching tool under the best of circumstances, able to simply tear almost any offending barrier down, or perhaps to claw and rake upon inferior constructs in crude melee.

Its cannon arm was a salvaged, repurposed, and retrofitted Legion built anti aircraft artillery. A true Fel-cannon that had been later upgraded beyond what the Iron Horde madmen, or Legion tech-savants had ever intended for their Dark Corsair class mechs. Galvanic Oscillators and Chain Ignitercoils ripped from Mechagon and out of Titan Keeper Constructs had been fused with the original design to supplement and enhance power distribution, heating, and swiftness. A juggernaut that could turn on a copper coin even at top speeds.

It was an ever approaching technological apotheosis of the worst variety. A machine whos appearances herald nightmarish catastrophe. A siege of one. An annihilator. And it was in DIRE need of a tune up. As all its hellish fury was silenced by a thunderously CUR-CLANK and the whole contraption powering down as it started to leak IMPOSSI-FREEZE coolants and various high-temp custom weight oils out of places it didn't need to. Nixalegos sighed as he turned his vehicle of choice off again and brought a grime and oil sweat hand to wipe at his forehead. "Mood." The warlock said outloud and clambered back out to see what part needed to be replaced. Thank you @astarmaux!
